Definitions
- At least one embodiment of the invention generally relates to a current-sensing apparatus with a magnetic field sensor functioning as a current sensor, in particular in a configuration as a GMR sensor. At least one embodiment of the invention furthermore relates to a corresponding method for current sensing.
- EP-A-0 703 460 discloses a current sensor in which the current through part of a conductor is measured by means of a magnetic field sensor and a compensation current conductor.
- U.S. 2006/091993 A1 additionally describes a current sensor with a gradient sensor comprising a plurality of magnetic field sensor elements.
- At least one embodiment of the invention accordingly resides in specifying a current-measuring apparatus and/or a corresponding method in which at least one of the abovementioned disadvantages are avoided or at least reduced with regard to their effect.
- a signal supplied by the GMR sensor is evaluated in order to conduct a compensation current into the compensation circuit by means of an amplifier, wherein, as soon as the signal from the GMR sensor at least substantially disappears, the compensation current is evaluated as a measure of the electrical variable to be sensed, that is to say for example the electric current in the respective measurement circuit.
- At least one embodiment of the invention is based on the insight that the abovementioned problem of dynamic range can be avoided by utilizing a compensation current.
- a compensation current For this purpose, an inductance is arranged in such a way that it can generate a magnetic field which is superposed with the magnetic field of the current to be measured at the location of the current sensor. The resulting field is compensated for by impressing a compensation current into the inductance. The current sensor is thereby always operated in the region of an output signal zero point. The impressed compensation current then corresponds to the current to be measured or there is a known proportionality between the impressed compensation current and the current to be measured.
- the GMR sensor functioning as a current sensor is embodied as a gradient sensor and outputs a signal proportional to a field difference. Influences of possible disturbance fields are thereby eliminated or reduced.
- a field difference is established when the GMR sensor is assigned to a conductor contour in the circuit which comprises at least two sections—first and second sections—and wherein a direction of a current flowing through the first section is opposite to the direction of the current in the second section.
- This conductor contour can also be conceived of in a simplified fashion as a substantially U-shaped contour in which the two sections mentioned above form the lateral limbs of such a U-shaped conductor course.
- the conductor contour is correspondingly also referred to just as “U-turn” for short hereinafter.
- the conductor section which the GMR sensor comprises is also configured in the manner of a U-turn, that is to say that the conductor section comprises at least two segments—first and second segments—wherein a direction of a compensation current flowing through the conductor section in the first segment is opposite to the direction of the current in the second segment.
- the compensation principle can be implemented particularly advantageously by the integration of the above-described U-turn, that is to say of a current loop, directly into a component having the GMR sensor. Owing to the spatial proximity of the integrated current loop to the GMR sensor which is then possible, only a very small compensation current is necessary to compensate even for large measurement currents. Above all, there is no need for an inductance in the form of a coil having a plurality of turns. One conductor loop, namely the U-turn, suffices. As a result of this, the overall arrangement can be realized very well in a planar monolithically integrable structure.
- the gradient recorded by the gradient sensor correspondingly decreases at 1/x 4 .
- the combination of GMR sensor and conductor section in one component it is thus possible to realize a comparatively small distance between GMR sensor and conductor section. Moreover, with combination in one component, this results in a defined distance between the sensor and the conductor section.
- This distance in addition to the distance to the circuit in which the electrical variable that is respectively of interest is intended to be measured, has to be known and taken as a basis in the evaluation of the measured values that respectively result.
- the distance between GMR sensor and measurement circuit can be greater than the component-internal distance by a power of 4.
- the measurement current and the compensation current then bring about an identical magnetic field at the location of the GMR sensor.
- the compensation current can become smaller in accordance with the relations of the distances with respect to one another, such that only a comparatively small compensation current is required for compensating for the magnetic field of the measurement circuit.
- the MR sensor comprises a number of MR elements, that is to say, depending on the embodiment of the MR sensor as GMR/AMR or TMR sensor, GMR/AMR or respectively TMR elements—referred to in summarizing combination as GMR element hereinafter—, wherein each GMR element can be contact-connected individually.
- This type of offset compensation requires a freely accessible array interconnection of the GMR elements, that is to say the individual contact-connectability thereof, which is complicated in the case of conventional realization with a plurality of circuits and, owing to the line routing, is also very sensitive to coupled-in disturbances.
- the GMR sensors can be applied directly on a silicon area of a circuit in the sense of vertical integration.
- the electrical connections can be realized as extremely short interconnects (sandwich arrangement).
- FIG. 1 shows a current-sensing apparatus
- FIG. 2 shows a gradient sensor as an example of a specific GMR sensor
- FIG. 3 shows a component with a gradient sensor.
- FIG. 1 shows a component 12 with a GMR sensor functioning as a current sensor.
- a GMR sensor functioning as a current sensor.
- This is shown in schematically simplified form as an apparatus for sensing at least one electrical variable, in particular an electric current in a circuit 10 (measurement circuit).
- the GMR sensor, or the component 12 comprises a conductor section 14 of a compensation circuit 16 .
- an amplifier 18 For feeding the compensation current into the compensation circuit 16 , an amplifier 18 is provided, which receives at least one input 20 a signal from the component 12 or the GMR sensor which the component comprises.
- the signal present at the input 20 of the amplifier 18 corresponds to the resulting magnetic field strength of the magnetic field generated by the current flowing through the measurement circuit 10 and the field strength that arises on account of the compensation current through the compensation circuit 16 . If the magnetic field associated with the compensation current quenches, that is to say compensates for, the magnetic field from the measurement circuit 10 , the signal at the input 20 disappears.
- the compensation current that is to say the intensity of the compensation current, is then a measure of the current intensity in the measurement circuit 10 .
- the conductor section 14 of the compensation circuit 16 comprises at least two segments 22 , 24 —first and second segments 22 , 24 —, wherein a direction of a compensation current flowing through the conductor section 14 in the first segment 22 is opposite to the direction of the current in the second segment 24 .
- the conductor section 14 is manifested overall as a “U-shaped” conductor section 14 and is correspondingly also referred to as a “U-turn” hereinafter.
- the component 12 and/or the GMR sensor that the component 12 comprises is assigned to a conductor contour 26 in the measurement circuit 10 that corresponds to the conductor section 14 .
- the conductor contour 26 comprises, analogously to the conductor section 14 in the compensation circuit 16 , at least two sections 28 , 30 —first and second sections 28 , 30 —, wherein a direction of a current flowing through the first section 28 , that is to say of the measurement current, is opposite to the direction of the measurement current in the second section 30 .
- the conductor section 14 of the compensation circuit 16 and the conductor contour 26 of the measurement circuit 10 form an inductance, wherein a gradient field is established in the conductor-free region between the two segments 22 , 24 , and between the two sections 28 , 30 , the gradient field being sensed by the component 12 and/or the GMR sensor that the component comprises, in its preferred embodiment as a gradient sensor.
- FIG. 2 shows, in schematically simplified form, an illustration of a gradient sensor 32 as a GMR sensor such as is part of the component 12 ( FIG. 1 ), for example.
- the gradient sensor 32 has four GMR elements 34 , 36 , 38 , 40 , wherein the GMR elements 34 - 40 are assigned respectively in pairs to the conductor section 14 of the compensation circuit 16 ( FIG. 1 ).
- the gradient field designated by “Hx” in the figure, forms between the segments 22 , 24 of the U-shaped conductor section 14 of the compensation circuit 16 , the gradient field being detected by the gradient sensor 32 .
- FIG. 3 shows, once again in simplified illustration, a section through the component 12 (cf. FIG. 1 ), wherein a layer of the component 12 that can be discerned only as the topmost layer 42 in the cross section illustrated is represented by the U-shaped conductor section 14 (also cf. FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 ).
- a passivation can be discerned as a further layer 44 between the topmost layer 42 and GMR elements 34 , 36 arranged within the component 12 .
- Beneath the further layer 44 is an ASIC, which is only represented as a third layer 46 and is provided for processing the data supplied by the GMR elements 34 - 40 .
- the component 12 can be assigned overall (not illustrated) to the respective conductor contour 26 ( FIG. 1 ) of a measurement circuit 10 ( FIG. 1 ).
- a comparatively smaller compensation current in the compensation circuit 16 also suffices to compensate for the magnetic field of the measurement circuit 10 . If the signal of the gradient sensor 32 ( FIG. 2 ) disappears, therefore, the compensation current then present corresponds to the current flowing in the measurement circuit 10 not directly but rather only taking as a basis the proportionality correlated with the abovementioned distances.
- a current-sensing apparatus and a method for operating it are specified, based on the fact that the current sensor provided is a GMR sensor in an embodiment as a gradient sensor 32 , and that the gradient sensor 32 or a component 12 comprising the gradient sensor 32 comprises, for its part, a conductor section 14 of a compensation circuit 16 , such that the current in the measurement circuit can be compensated for by a current in the compensation circuit 16 and the compensation current can be evaluated as a measure of the electrical variable to be sensed with regard to the measurement circuit 10 .
